4 Objectives For Today The physician will be able to: Describe the structure and purpose of the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine; Identify and describe the significant steps in the Florida physician disciplinary process; and List specific sources of medical practice that have high potential for putting a medical license at risk of discipline.
5 Stupid Question? Why Do You Need To Worry About Your Medical License?
6 Your Medical License A Privilege vs. a Right The state regulates and disciplines Florida physicians
7 The Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine The regulatory body charged with ensuring the minimum requirements for safe physician medical practice Organized under the Department of Health Members appointed by the governor Duty is to protect the public, not to advocate for the physician D.O.s
8 The Florida Board of Medicine The regulatory body charged with ensuring the minimum requirements for safe physician medical practice Organized under the Department of Health Members appointed by the governor Duty is to protect the public, not to advocate for the physician Regulates M.D.s and P.A.s
9 The Physician Disciplinary Process Complaint Investigation Probable Cause Panel Administrative Complaint Hearing Discipline
10 The Initial Complaint Sources Disgruntled employee/employer, colleague/coworker, patient/family member Code 15 or adverse incident report Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) surveys Law Enforcement Self Report or Adjudication Malpractice Allegation National Practitioner Date Bank (NPDB) Other
11 The Initial Complaint: Common Allegations Unprofessional conduct (e.g. disruptive physician) Failure to practice with reasonable skill and safety Criminal conduct Engaging or attempting to engage in the possession, sale or distribution of controlled substances Filing a false report Malpractice settlements
12 The Investigation: Notice Letter & Case Summary What it really means What it can tell you What you should and should not do upon receipt
13 The Investigation: The Investigator The investigator s role The investigator: your best friend or worst enemy?
14 The Prosecution Stage The role of the Department of Health (DOH) attorney Review and rebuttal of the DOH investigative findings Presenting mitigating factors
15 Probable Cause Who is the probable cause panel? Members? The Panel reviews the case file and determines whether probable cause exists to proceed with a formal administrative complaint The Panel s determination options: Dismissal Dismissal with a letter of guidance Finding of probable cause
16 Prosecution The Administrative Complaint The Election of Rights Informal Hearing Formal Hearing Voluntary Relinquishment
17 Discipline Potential Penalties: Revocation or suspension of license Restriction of practice Probation direct or indirect Imposition of a fine Mandatory continuing education Issuance of a reprimand Issuance of a citation
18 Settlement Agreements Negotiated with Department of Health attorney Needs to be presented and voted on by Board Counter offers and rejections
19 Discipline: Collateral Consequences Discipline remains on the medical license forever Will usually precipitate an investigation and/or discipline by other states where the physician holds a license When discipline is imposed, the physician generally has an affirmative duty to report to other states where a license is held Could serve as a basis for exclusion from Medicare/ Medicaid programs Will generate a NPDB report
20 The Professionals Resource Network (PRN) May be an alternative to discipline or Can be a condition imposed upon a physician s license by the Board of Medicine

25 California Proposition 46 On the November 4, 2014, ballot. Doctors and insurance companies have amassed $57 million to fight Proposition 46, making this the most expensive campaign of the fall election. Would make it mandatory for doctors to consult a database that contains how many times a patient has been prescribed serious narcotics, prior to prescribing the patient; CURES Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Execution System.
26 Arguments For Proposition 46 Prevents substance abuse by doctors and patients Holds negligent doctors accountable An estimated 18% of health professionals have an abuse problem in their lifetimes

32 Ways To Protect Your License When in doubt, look it up or consult an attorney Be familiar with facility policies and procedures Document accurately and timely Be aware of your employer s business practices Be prepared to quit your job
33 Ways To Protect Your License Be familiar with Florida s Medical Practice Acts and the act of any other state where you hold a license Never plead to a crime without knowing the implications to your medical license Cooperate with internal investigation, but always maintain caution
34 Case Study: PRN Professional Resource Network John Doe, resident physician at Orlando Health It s his birthday! Happy Birthday John. John s a lucky guy and has the next three days off. John and his friends go out for drinks to celebrate. John s friend videotapes the final shot of the night. John walks home after his night out. SMART idea, kudos to you John. Fast forward to two weeks later
35 Case Study: PRN Trudy James, nurse at John s hospital, see s the video of John s birthday night on Facebook. Judy, offended by the video and drinking, reports John to the Professional Resource Network (PRN). John receives a letter from PRN notifying him that it believes he may be an impaired physician and to contact the program immediately. Bummer. Knowing that he doesn t have a drinking problem, John ignores the letter. Outcome?
36 Case Study: Drug Screenings Dr. Palmer, emergency room physician at Cori Morgan Hospital Ten year tenure at Cori Morgan Hospital It was discovered that Dilaudid (narcotic pain reliever) went missing during her shift. The hospital decides to drug screen all doctors and nurses working that day. Dr. Palmer is insulted the hospital would ever suspect her.
37 Case Study: Drug Screenings Dr. Palmer calls the president of the hospital medical staff, demanding she be exempt from the screening. She cites her long tenure, and six negative drug tests taken in the past, the most recent just four weeks ago. The president denies her request. Believing she is no longer trusted, Dr. Palmer gives notice and quits. The result?
38 Case Study: Sexual Misconduct Dr. Smith, OB/GYN He treated Sally, a female patient, for many years. Dr. Smith stops treating Sally due to a change in insurance. Fast forward 1 year later
39 Case Study: Sexual Misconduct Dr. Smith and former patient, Sally, begin a sexual relationship. Dr. Smith writes prescriptions for non-controlled substances sporadically over the next 1-2 years. After a falling out, Sally files a complaint against Dr. Smith with the DOH. The outcome?
40 Difficulty in Sexual Misconduct Cases Treated as boundaries violations. Depending on the nature of the case, it may be considered an ongoing issue and require monitoring and re-education. Often referred to PRN for evaluation/treatment. Handled with extreme caution and often results in severe restrictions being placed on physicians (e.g. no contact with female patient).
41 Additional Issues In Sexual Misconduct Cases When does the physician/patient relationship begin and when does it end? When is a case an isolated incident and when is it evidence of a likely pattern of activity? Who will determine whether it is isolated or a pattern? Instantly becomes high a profile case often with media attention including cameras at Board meetings.
42 Case Study: External Legal Obligations Dr. Johnson, a teleradiologist Dr. Johnson was contracted to read diagnostic imaging studies for XYZ Diagnostics, an independent diagnostic testing facility. Over the years, the doctor becomes close friends with the facility owners. The owners ask Dr. Johnson to assist with certification efforts and financing an equipment purchase.
43 Case Study: External Legal Obligations The facility owners tell Dr. Johnson they will make him an officer of the company. Unknown to Dr. Johnson, the facility fails its mammography certification. The facility also fails to abide by the consent order entered by the FDA. The facility tries to reorganize under a different name, using the physician s credentials to reapply for certification under a new name.
44 Case Study: External Legal Obligations All the while, the facility has been providing mammograms to patients without being certified. The owners list Dr. Johnson as the incorporator and president of the company. The owners, on all FDA documents, label the doctor as the owner and responsible physician. The FDA and DOH discover the operation and take action against Dr. Johnson. Outcome?
45 Case Study: External Legal Obligations Dr. Johnson could potentially receive: Disciplinary actions against his license Federal civil monetary penalties of $1.5 million State fines and penalties
46 Discipline Doesn t Always Come From The Practice of Medicine Florida Statutes have provisions to catch many types of acts that are not the active practice of medicine: Section (1)(k), Florida Statutes, Failing to perform any statutory or legal obligation placed on a licensee. Section (1)(g), Florida Statutes, applying to allopathic physicians. Section (1)(g), Florida Statutes, applying to osteopathic physicians.
47 Types Of External Legal Obligations To Be Aware Of: Medical Director duties Regulatory compliance for any clinics you own or in which you have ownership interest Payment of student loans Income/payroll taxes Workers compensation insurance premiums
